Has anyone noticed that Tomtom 2.24 has problems with WM2003 on the XDA, after it's been run it gets rid of the small dot's used to select items (such as the ones next to On, Off, Vibrate on the Volume menu of the today screen) has anyone got a work around for this ? Only a soft reset seems to bring them back :!:
Cheers

Never had any problem with my xda.....
Running Tomtom version 2.24 on my own cooked German ROM 4.00.33 .

There is no need to downgrade to 2002.
Just upgrade to TomTom 2.04 and GPS 2.08, format your SD Card and re-install the maps. Try to start without any additional POI files.
This should fix your problem.
After this, the TT 2 was running fine on my MDA with the 4.0.33 german ROM.

Upgrade to 2.04 ? But I am already using 2.24 :?: :?
My Dad has just got an XDA aswell, he's running the same rom as me (4.01.00 no extra cooked bits) and 2.24 with GPS 2.08 does the same on his.

I have the same problem on my MDA II, even after the ROM 1.60 upgrade: sometimes radio buttons and/or checkboxes just disappear. I don't think this is specific to TomTom, as I saw the same thing happen also while running other programs. It is also not reproducable, most of the time TomTom just works fine.
Doesn't bother me much though, as a soft reset is a matter of seconds.

I found that tomtom 2.05 and gps 2.09 is the best marriage. Tomtom 2.24 does have some bugs such as after planning a journey it takes ages to go to the navigator map.

Is that with WM2003 ?
Tomtom's site states 2.24 adds PocketPC 2003 support but to be honest is didn't even try tomtom 2.05 i just upgraded it straight away.

Just put GPS 2.09 on and its nice to have the bar on the Today screen to launch tomtom, we'll have to wait and see if the problem with disappearing buttons still occurs, but it's been OK so far :wink:

I did not persevere with WM2003, it seemed to be very flaky on my XDA, I am sticking with XDA dev rom 1.2.
Swifty,
Many thanks. This has really got rid of alot of the bugs.
Does anyone know a url of a UK map update. The packaged map doesnt know alot of roads built over 18 months ago
Ashby
i followed all the examples bu i still had the missing radio buttons.
i tried every combo of updates and GPS versions. so i have kept the lastest versions.
however i have found a way to stop it occuring. it seems that the radio buttons only disappear after you launch the GPS software. i have avoided launching it and have used tomtom for a while now and the radio buttons have remained there.
Ashby, I dont thin tomtom do map updates as such, they release the new maps when the next version is released.
Yes, I kind of figured that. They hint on their website that map updates will be available when there data supplier gives them new data, but I suspect that they never will release an update and force you to by Navigator 3.
Bad show really.
A cool feature would be map editior, that way users can add new roads/ modify road layouts etc
Ashby
I purchased the Navigator USA version about 8 months ago and just last month TomTom sent me an email stating that map updates would be available soon. I followed a URL in the email and signed up for the updates and within a week I has seven new cd's that contained all the updated maps.
I don't have any complaints.
It must just be the UK!
never had a prob with tomtom v2.24 on v4.00.11 on v4.01.00 it took bluddy ages to load up and it hanged loads. but now that im on vA.30.07 it is a hell of a lot faster then v4.00.11 and seems alot better
Radio Buttons
Another confirmation on the radio buttons problem with TomTom. The problem is still there even with the latest version (2.24 & GPS 2.19).
But, I have been able to trace the bug down a bit. Can't prove it, but maybe others can confirm:
It seems the problem is related to the GPS-S/W. Whenever I change anythin on the configuration there, I lose the radio buttons until I do a soft reset. SPecifically when you change the COM-port, you lose the buttons.
We've been doing some GPS/NMEA S/W development around the serial ports ourselves. WM2003 has some ugly bugs in this area, such as hanging when you try to open a port that isn't configured or active).
But, as Microsoft points out: Its not a bug, its a feature (verify that the soft reset button still works)!! ;-)

Hi,
Can anyone using WM2003 check to see if they have a "MORE" tab under Phone>Tools>Options and let me know the version.
The 4.00.11 version of WM2003 I got from Jeff's Kitchen does not have the "MORE" tab dispite the Microsoft Mobile site saying it should have!!! :?
mine does
Mine does. Its a USA 900/1900 T-Mobile device with 4.0.16 OS, 6.24 radio.
BTW: The radio version alters whats in Tools-options. e.g. the USA devices have a 'band' tab.
cheers,
..lance
Mine does not. T-Mobile device, 4.00.16, radio 6.24.00. Another device here with the same versions also does not.
Maybe this is related to a SIM feature?
nope
Mine does not. PPC 2002 on my XDA had it.
I've got an O2 XDA with 4.00.16 and Radio 4.21
I have got both the More and the Band tab.
Dear,
If all ROMs of yours are from Jeff's Kitchen, I think the presence of "More" option is optional when you cook your own ROM.
Thanks for the info guys,
I think it's a "feature" of 4.00.11, but I will check on Jeff's Kitchen for Ken_xda's suggestion when it comes back online. As Aurora13 has the same Radio as me but a different ROM, I will try an upgrade although I would rather have a UK ROM than a US one.
Mine does and I'm running a T-Mobile device, ROM 4.00.16 and AT&T radio stack A.20.10.
BTW my ROM came from a bin file install that I downloaded
from Aurora13's FTP site when it was active.
HTH
I too have just upgraded to ROM 4.00.16 and radio v6.24 (thanks Qman)...I do not have the "More" and "Band" options either - I remember having them under 2k2. Are these features important enough to request Aurora13 to repost the bin file? Should I revert to 2k2?
Good question!
As far as the "Band" option goings I'm sure you're safe if you plan only to use the phone in the Country/Region that your SIM card is set to. If not you
can always change if from the bootloader.
Now as for the "More" option goes it has the following Options:
Automatic pickup
Answer incoming calls without pressing Talk after xxx rings
Hardware button lock
Lock all buttons except Power button
Do not lock buttons
Broadcast Channels
Enable
HTH

Can this More" option" be retrieve any way on WM2003 4.00.11 i.e setting :idea: :?:
Hi All,
I've done a bit of fiddling. I downloaded ROMs for 3.17.00, 4.00.05, 4.00.11 and 4.00.16 from Jeff's Kitchen and tried all of them with Radio 4.21 from UK O2. The only one that gave me the MORE tab was 3.17.00. none of the 4.00.xx versions did.
I would like to try with a different Radio ROM but I don't have the previous version prior to te upgrade to 4.21. Can anyone tell me where to get an earlier version.
Hmmz strange I have the O2 Radio 4.21 and the 4.00.16 (kitchen) ROM, but I DO have the More tab!
O2 XDA with 4.00.16
Hello, Posible to download O2 XDA with 4.00.16 or 4.00.11 (not ROM Kitchen), where ftp? or site download?
Thanks
Wow you can download a XDA? I had to buy mine in a shop!
Maybe we can download the O2 XDA II already somewhere?
But seriously: if you don't select the extra options on the kitchen page, you get a 'standard' 2003 ROM.
The band-switching feature is particularly important. Any time I've ever switched bands using the bootloader method (using bootloader 5.15, ROM 4.00.05, Radio RA.20.10) I always seem to end up accidentally doing a hard reset. Very frustrating. I've learned to always backup to SD first, but what a pain. I travel to Europe reasonably often (just got back from T-Mobile country (DE) yesterday) and would love to have the tab back. I just looked at Jeff's kitchen again, and I can confirm that there's no option there to add the More and Band tabs (there's an option to add the BandSwitch program, but as the page says, and I can confirm, it doesn't work with the 4.xx.xx ROMs).
I'll try 4.00.16 to see if the Tabs come back.
PS - That config (ROM 4.00.05, RA.20.10) has worked great in UK and Germany for me... I've roamed all over and get as good as I can get considering I'm running at 900 while I'm there.
PPS - Maybe this has something to do with stk.lnk or HTC SAT (/windows/stk.exe) which seems to always hang at startup on my system?
No Band or More Option and HTC Sat Also Hangs
I've upgraded to ROM 4.00.11, Radio 4.17.00. I do not have the More or Band Tabs.
I also suffer from HTC SAT hanging at bootup.
Otherwise everything good.
I have an O2 XDA and in Australia
Because of all the expected mssing around with my original T-Mobile 1.60.00 ROM combined with a Bluetooth GPS, I decided to upgrade. It all works now, just let me share my findings with you:
I wanted the 1.72WWE and 1.14 Radio ROM, no Beta, but also wanted to keep my Dutch T-Mobile custumisations.
I took the recently released QTek 1.72 ROM
Unpacked it
Threw the extende rom file away
Changed the 'country code' from qtek to tmobile (see link on xda-developers mainpage)
Backed up my device using Activesync backup
Started the upgrade
UhOh: 'USB 1.03' on screen and nothing happening
Restarted upgrade
Went smooth all along
Hard reset: YES!! 1.72.00WWE / 1.14.00 radio with all my beloved Dutch T-Mobile customisations (ext rom 1.60.38)
Performed restore. THIS probably wasnt the smartest idea, because right after that my device was quite unstable. '
So: Did a 'permanent save' backup
and a Hard reset again.
Rock steady since then!
To get Bluetooth & BT GPS working frightened me a bit: getting that to work should be proof of the pudding to justify my upgrade.
Fiddled around 2 hours (com ports, gps viewer software that accompanied the GPS and what have you got . . .), until I tried the simple stupid method:
Switch on Bluetooth
Bond the BPS
Start TomTom GPS
Select NMEA 0183v2 9600 and Bluetooth GPS
I am very happy!!
For those that are still lokking for a decent cheap BT GPS: Search on ebay for DCONNEX. They sell for around 80 euros + 28 euros shipping. The DCONNEX DC-230 is in fact a rebadged Holux GR-230. Works like a charm, and for the price of a wire solution!
Works!!!!!

Is the same ROM.
Eelco is right
As long as you look just at the os & radio roms both QTek 1.72 and IMate 1.72 are the same.
Difference is withing the extended rom.
because I liked to keep the Duthc T-Mobile customisations (well not all, but most of them) I re-used my old extended rom.
Hello,
Help with 1.72 ROM set up.
I'm very excited about how you have set up your device, but I'm not fully certain how to do the same.
I have looked for the ROM unpacker, but the only thing I see on this site is the ER-Edit.
I currently have the T-Mobile UK Beta 1.72 on my device, and I'm not real happy with it.
If you can and if it is not too much trouble, could you please provide me a little more specific directions on how you accomplished your set up. I'm in the USA, and I upgraded from 1.60.36, which I was not very happy with either. I liked 1.60 better.
My major concerns lie with the country id error, and using parts of different extended roms and radio stacks, but I'm willing to try.
Thank You, Ed
Well since you now have 1.72 on the device its really quite simple.
(You might as well consider upgrading to the non-beta 1.72 from imate or Qtek, i used Qtek)
Foor the external rom customisations:
Unpack an update (like the 1.60 you mentioned) using winrar
Using the directions on thsi site determine your current çountry id FOR THE EXTENDED ROM
using the directions on this site (xda2nbf) change the country id for the extende rom file (ms_.nbf)
remove the other .nbf (nb and radio) files
Upgrade your device
Cold reset
Yopur device should now be a bit in the right direction
Install the extende rom-unlocker found in this forum
unhide & unlock the extended rom
Now you can add/remove programs from the extended rom.
adding goes like:
1. place .cab file of program to be installed in extended rom
2. add CAB line in config.txt just before the current last line
removing goes like:
1. remove cab file of program you dont like
2. remove accompanying line in config.txt
Dont forget to lock you extended rom afterwards so the contents is kept during any reset.
hope this helps.
also : search the forum on the topics extended rom unlock
edsub,
Thank you very much. Your response is very helpful, and sends me in the right direction. The winrar was the missing peice that I did not have.
I'm familiar with the extended rom part, but I have not played around with the .nbf, nor the rom locking.
The UK beta 1.72 I have does not seem real stable to me. I'm thinking of going with the iMate or Qtek 1.72, as you suggest.
Thanks again I'll see what I can manage.
Ed

Hi all,
I've recently bought a DC-230 GPS BT, but I cannot use with TomTom3
I have:
ROM VER 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.14.00
Ext 1.72.104 (with some cabs added by me)
And a XDA 2 (rom is a Qtek 2020)
I've tried:
Hard reset - no BT Tools - Bond GPS - Success with GPS Viewer (that is in boundle with DC) on COM5 9600
Started tomtomGPS, no success (with or without START GPS with GPS Viewer).
I've tried
- NMEA 0183v2 9600 on COM5 and on Bluetooth
- NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth on COM5 and on Bluetooth
- SiRF 9600 on COM5 and on Bluetooth
- SiRF Bluetooth on COM5 and on Bluetooth
I've removed bond with GPS.
So i've installed BT Tools 1.1. Bondend and added profile on COM7
GPS View didn't see the GPS
TomTom the same (i've tried the same drivers)
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Fabio
try changing to nmea 4800 on the same port that the gps view is showing, make sure gps view is closed when starting tomtom. Alsi instead of choosing from the upper drop down box in tomtom, look in the lower drop down, you may find your gps is announced/listed there.

Bluetooth authomatic activation problem
I am sorry to jump in this discussion, but I had a BT problem, I couldn't connect to a GPS (Leadtek), and I did almost the same thing you are talking: I upgraded my QTEK2020 to 1.72.00WWE/1.14.00/1.72.602.
After the upgrade I installed the Pocket Bluetooth Tools and after some bondings/"unbonding", the COM7 profile appeared and everything worked fine from that moment on.
Now, there are 2 things I want to share:
- first, in order to have a diferent Bluetooth serial connection to the same or another port, I had to kill the the bond I created with the Leadtek GPS, then bonded again without activating the serial profile and then killed that bond again. Only after this series of actions, with a soft reset between all of them, I was able to bond with a diferent GPS bluetooth (I think it was from Globalsat), using the Com7 serial profile.
- second: my Qtek activates randomly the bluetooth by itself...
Does anyone know how to solve the authomatic random activation of the GT?
Try to activate in start/settings/system/bluetooth settings the extended port com 5. This helps with leadtek and emtac bluetooth antenna's for tomtom, and alturion.
Cheers
Why are you using Pocket Bluetools with rom 1.72??
NO NEED TO!!
Just use native MS BT Stack.
Bond the BT GPS, say yes when asked to assign COM port.
Let GPS software use COM5
Settings for TomTom3: NMEA Bluetooth GPS / COM5
Works flawlessly
I have created this topic to try and get all feedback specific to this upgrade into one place.
So if you have comments, issues, problems, opinions or just plain questions about this upgrade, post them here.
great job dcs.
let me be the first to post and it's regarding Incoming MSG.
When i first got my unit from Philippines, it was loaded with 1.66WWE and with this version i was able to select preloaded or customized WAV as incoming SMS tone. But it went missing when i upgraded to Waxx's 1.72 and even now to the latest o2 UK 1.72. Anyone else experiencing this?

Personally, I find the performance to be improved and also stability. Also, when a call comes in, the Answer button on the dialog works, which didn't before. As part of the extended ROM, O2 have provided improved video streaming over GPRS plus video for MMS (I haven't used either yet). The OS itself has the Microsoft user update 2 included. Of course, the 181 release also has Blackberry included.

OK. Strange, but at least you are sorted
Edit: Maybe it is something in O2 Active that causes the problem? I have uninstalled it, so perhaps I am unaffected. Could other people with O2 Active still installed throw light on this?

Hi, I have installed the new rom (1.72.187). Everything is ok but Messenger. I can surf web sites using gprs and wifi but i cant connect msn. I always get the same error.

have you tried Battery Pack Pro v1.1.10 on this? The last time i used this with 1.66WWE, i keep getting total blackout on my XDA2 with Bluetooth light steady blue and i hard to perform hard-reset. since then i was afraid to try again.

Have you applied the latest patch from Microsoft? Take a look here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/msnmessenger/pocketpc.mspx
It does state that you cannot access the service unless it is applied. Quote: "Customers without the updated software will not have access to the Service until the download has been completed."

I also have identical experience using the Battery Pack Pro v1.1.10 on 1.60 WWE. Being scared to have a try on 1.72. Should anyone pioneer on this, please also let me know. Thanks
Blackberry?
I'm trying to understand what the benefits of having Blackberry are. The Blackberry website says you get all the stuff which I'm sure I already have with my XDA. Things like e-mail and IE. Except for my e-mail which is blocked by my ISP, Plus.net (I can only view/download e-mails, not send new ones).
What's the big improvement I'm supposed to get with Blackberry? :?

I am running v1.1.1 with no problems on the v1.72 Rom. Worked fine with 1.60 also but no experience of v1.66.
have already installed New ROM 1.72.187
in this ROM, i think it work faster than 1.60 but liked other 1.72 ROM from T-mobile.
In the Ext ROM ,it doesn't include some software such as GPRS monitor.
Now ,I desired to cook it.
More stable without question. Only thing that I have found is that the O2 logo can't be moved. Dam thing stuck in middle of title bar. BT Tools works ok. Better wapsupport for o2 active, though XDA seems to forget it's connected and will drop connection and reconnect when conecting to O2's wap service.
Still it's a worthwile update.
I am having problems with Fonix voice dial. When I adda voice tag I get an error that it cannot update, hard or soft reset doesnt help. Also if I restore my backup using the built in backup program I find that streaming video and blackberry programs both vanish from my xda 2.
Feed back
looking good so far. I have added all my apps including BPP 1.1.1 and everything works fine.
SRS now works as well whereas before it trashed my xda II
I am from Asia but installed this UK o2 ROM and found its totally working good.
However, one thing is the autoconfig function has gone.
Anyone knows how to get this from the previous AISA rom?
Blackberry Config
Anyone been successful with this yet?
Ive activated the install and the BB client tries to connect somewhere over GPRS, but eventually suspends itself.
Ive got access to our Corporate BES so should be able to get it working. However, there seems to be some mention in the ROM upgrade guide about a desktop client manager (needed on PC to download the policy).
Ive seen posts that say O2 is not making it availble until Jan 05 - anyone confirm?
Oh, and Im actually using Vodafone
Finally I upgraded to WM2003SE (2.06).
Direct reason was the declining performance under WM2003 (1.72). What happened was that when running TomTom 5.1 and a phone call came in (or I made one) the connection with my SD was lost. Exit TomTom, take-out & re-insert SD end eventualy restarting TomTom solved that on an incident basis.
With WM2003 SE that problem has gone. BUT I got something back: The sound in TomTom (5.1 and 5.21) is severely distorted ('clicking' like sound). The same (but not that severe) happens when I run Tomtom and I play an MP3 using WMP9.
I tried XCPUScalar, but the CPU load most of the time is around 60-70% (@400MHZ).
My Extended ROM does not have suspicious tools that run permanently in it.
Any clues?
Update: Same issue happens with ROM 2.20.07CHS (translated).
I received a clue from mamaich :
Create a "Priority256" key under HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev and set it to 128 (0x80)
First results are promising!
mmm looks like I am talking to myself in this thread.
Anyway: The registry hack worked fine for me. Even better: the GB-Tweak applet I allready have does just the same (via the Audio priority option).
I am now very happy with the 2.20 translated SE ROM for my Himalaya. I might just keep on using it until my Wizard arives in two weeks 8)
Had the same problem, tomtom stutterd, GB-Tweak did the trick.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Guys just wondering if this is common problem for the S740 ?
I was using my phone today with Mcguider I saw some bars pop up trying to get lock then since that it says hardware error and freezes the phone if I attempt to go into mcguider and the same occurs when I try google mpas with GPS.
Just wondering if this is a freak hardware failure or common fault so time to get a different model like HTC HD2.
thanks in advance.
Hy!
No its not an common problem......the GPS from Rose works still great for me...i´m using Sygic and Google Maps and all works perfect.....I think you should try to Reset your Phone....maybe an Software-Problem....or if you have to much money buy a new Phone... ;-)
I had problems like this in the past.
Had the same error this weekend and I think it has something to do with the QuickGPS data. I deleted the xtra.bin in the \Windows folder rebooted (did not redownload quickGPS data) and waited for a regular fix and it didn't hang on using GPS after that.
When I had this error in the past (2-3 times a year) it just worked again after a while without me doing anything. Thats why i suspect the QuickGPS data as it times out after 7 days.
I have the same issue,
Whenever trying to use a gps program the phone locks up. I tried reflashing the WM6.5 rom again but still no luck. But i'll try this quickgps thing.
Anyone know where I can find the gps settings? (it's com4 ?)
Thanks.
after removing the quickgps it no longer locks up the phone.
Thanks!
Garmin XT & Google Maps & Bing all work with the gps now!

Thanks I did reset the phone and now it works once again so I guess it is a common issue.
Nope I don't have too much money I just want a phone that works perfectly for all my gadget needs and up until this point it has been perfect shame they are not making a new model it appears that the candybar phone is getting less and less popular
I am having the same problem, i tried installing Sygic mobilemaps 10 and when i come to the language selection screens the phone wont respond to anything, it will launch the gps quickfix application in the back so i think it has something to do with that. resetting the phone does nothing. problem remains when i install sygic again. Anyone an idea ?
Hy!
Okay i don´t know about QuickGPS....i make the Update via Wlan manual and its disabled to download automatic when Navi runs and i had never probs with Navi on this phone...for me its the best phone i ever had...
...and it sucks that HTC doesn´t make a new Version of this phone....
to Renever:
Sygic MobileMaps10 works with Rose? Look here...
true its an great phone..... i will try old mcguider 2009 on it again.
I use the 2009 Version and it works Great for me on Frauhottelmanns 6.5er V1.00 there is no need to Upgrade to sygic v10...... "Never touch a running System"....;-)
well i received a message that my trial has expired on mcguider 2009 .... so thats why i figured lets try the new version....
